Today I missed out on a C-17 and a KC-135 because they were literally invisible (mind you I purposely put on my sunglasses). After taking the pictures of this E-6 I lost track of it too, pretty nuts lol

That is odd topoff as KC-10 #86-0028 VINYL from Travis at altitude all the way across the Country finally drops
down in AR-20 Northeast to FL27k.Has to be a record for long distance AR-20 topoff
That tail used to be McGuire tail but runs out of Travis lately.
Euro post says was tanking NOVA-24 E-3G #76-1607 on deployment.

Helicopter crashed in, I think they said Alabama. Probable Blackhawk. No survivors. From Fox news.

I'm looking around like a chicken without a head trying to see them (but how can the chicken without a head see you ask, don't think too much into it ).

Could this be them? Looks like this track coming from Harrisburg, PA View attachment 136458

Sorry for not posting this sooner but was doing work up in attic.

The flight depicted here is BATTON 55 from KMDT (Harrisburg) to KFOK (Francis S Gabreski Airport) on Long Island. The return trip back to KMDT with some touch and go's at Allentown KABE is here
